Planning Justification Report (the report) has been prepared by SGL Planning and Design Inc. in support of the Official Plan Amendment (OPA) application, Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBLA) application and Site Plan Approval being submitted by Blackthorn Development Corporation on behalf of 2683340 Ontario Inc., for lands municipally addressed as 255 Dundas Street West (subject site) as shown on Figure 1. The proposed development (the proposal) seeks an OPA to redesignate the site from “Mixed Use” with a maximum height of 4 storeys to “Residential High Density” with ground related commercial uses. The OPA is appropriate in order to maintain consistency with adjacent land uses along Dundas Street. The proposal also seeks a ZBLA to rezone the site from “General Commercial-26 (C3-26)” which permits a range of retail, service, office, and recreational entertainment commercial uses with a maximum of 2,650 m2 of non-residential use and no apartment use, to permit a mixed- use development that supports higher order transit along Dundas Street and the nearby Hurontario Street. The purpose of the report is to assess the appropriateness of the development on the subject site in relation to the surrounding context, transportation network, existing infrastructure provisions, and the applicable planning policies at the provincial, and municipal levels. 2 Planning Justification Report April 2021 255 Dundas Street West, Mississauga SUBJECT SITE Figure 1: 255 Dundas Street West map and subject site 2683340 Ontario Inc. is proposing to redevelop the site with a stepped 14-storey to 4- storey high rise apartment development consisting of commercial ground floor uses, residential apartment units, associated outdoor and indoor amenity areas and vehicular and bicycle parking. The report is broken into nine sections: Section 1 provides an introduction to this report. Section 2 provides the planning history of the site which includes the historic use of the site and previous approvals. Further, this section provides an overview of the existing conditions and land uses of the subject site. Section 3 provides a describes the proposal, including an overview of the proposed OPA, ZBLA and Site Plan Application. Section 4 provides a summary of the supporting studies for the proposal. 3 Planning Justification Report April 2021 255 Dundas Street West, Mississauga Section 5 assesses the consistency and conformity of the proposal, as applicable, to relevant provincial, regional and municipal policies. Section 6 describes the planning rationale for the proposal. Section 7 describes the

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • Applying Life Cycle Assessment to Analyze the Environmental Sustainability of Public Transit Modes for the City of Toronto
    Applying life cycle assessment to analyze the environmental sustainability of public transit modes for the City of Toronto by Ashton Ruby Taylor A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography & Planning in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2016 Copyright © Ashton Ruby Taylor, 2016 Abstract One challenge related to transit planning is selecting the appropriate mode: bus, light rail transit (LRT), regional express rail (RER), or subway. This project uses data from life cycle assessment to develop a tool to measure energy requirements for different modes of transit, on a per passenger-kilometer basis. For each of the four transit modes listed, a range of energy requirements associated with different vehicle models and manufacturers was developed. The tool demonstrated that there are distinct ranges where specific transit modes are the best choice. Diesel buses are the clear best choice from 7-51 passengers, LRTs make the most sense from 201-427 passengers, and subways are the best choice above 918 passengers. There are a number of other passenger loading ranges where more than one transit mode makes sense; in particular, LRT and RER represent very energy-efficient options for ridership ranging from 200 to 900 passengers. The tool developed in the thesis was used to analyze the Bloor-Danforth subway line in Toronto using estimated ridership for weekday morning peak hours. It was found that ridership across the line is for the most part actually insufficient to justify subways over LRTs or RER. This suggests that extensions to the existing Bloor-Danforth line should consider LRT options, which could service the passenger loads at the ends of the line with far greater energy efficiency.
